Program: Nancy Woods from the Newton Chamber of Commerce gave us an update on their activities. The Newton Chamber is independent of the County Chamber so that the organization can focus exclusively on the needs of Newton. In addition to responding to inquiries form tourists and business owners, the group provides the wreaths at Christmas and flower baskets in the summer that decorate Spring Street. The group has successfully sponsored events such as the Taste of Newton, bridal fairs, and organizes ribbon cuttings for new businesses.
